The proxy features of Orbot are provided by the Tor network. Tor's Onion Routing protocol only supports TCP traffic. Most applications run over TCP when interacting with servers, calling APIs, downloading data. UDP is generally used for streaming media, VoIP and other applications that can tolerate lossy data.
At this point, if you want to use Orbot as a SOCKS5 proxy, you can only send TCP data over it. This means you can use it for the app functions I listed above, but not for streaming media, etc. If you want another solution for proxying that can support TCP and UDP, I would look at Shadowsocks: https://shadowsocks.org On 1/18/19 9:21 AM, nanu sonu wrote: > Can someone please guide me on this? > > On Thu, Jan 17, 2019 at 7:40 PM nanu sonu <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Dear Members, > > In send method of below given file clearly mentioning that udp can > be sent through the SOCKS5 proxy. > > > https://github.com/guardianproject/OrbotVPN/blob/master/src/com/runjva/sourceforge/jsocks/protocol/Socks5DatagramSocket.java. > > I am totally confused if orbot doesn't support UDP then what is > the use of this? > > > > On Wed, Jan 16, 2019 at 3:57 PM nanu sonu <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Dear Abel, > > When I am routing the UDP traffic through ORBOT VPN ON using > UDP gateway, I am able to route the UDP traffic successfully.I > want to Implement the same with ORBOT Socks Proxy without > ORBOT VPN > > Why is it not allowing to do the same in case of ORBOT Socks > Proxy. > > Your help is highly appreciated. > > On Wed, Jan 16, 2019 at 3:36 PM Abel Luck > <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > wrote: > > Unfortunately, Tor only supports TCP traffic.
